Song Lili's words were met with agreement from those around her. Many people couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"That's true. There are always some people with ulterior motives who can't stand seeing others do well. There are such people."
"That's true. Qinghua's two sons are successful, hardworking, and capable, and their wives are also diligent."
“It’s understandable that people would be jealous and covetous of a family like that, after all, they live a very prosperous and colorful life.”
"Who can argue with that?"
The surrounding whispers and slaps continued to land on Luo Yuejin's feet, making his already fleshy face even more distorted and ferocious.
If it weren't for his last bit of rationality telling him that he couldn't lose his temper and couldn't let Song Lili see anything, he would have rushed up and taught those gossipy people a lesson long ago.
Now, he cannot.
Song Lili stood there lazily, watching Luo Yuejin's face change color by color, like a palette.
Seeing that he was clearly furious inside, but had to hold it in and not let it out, made me happy.
Anyone who tries to annoy her should be prepared to retaliate; she's not someone to be trifled with.
However, she was a little annoyed. Luo Yuejin was always finding fault with her, which was always annoying.
But he hadn't done anything excessive, and he couldn't do much more, so he felt really frustrated.
We also need to think of a way to teach Luo Yuejin a lesson so that he won't dare to cause trouble in the future, otherwise this will still be a troublesome matter.
This is because Luo Yuejin has learned his lesson and is no longer giving Song Lili any chance.
Just as she was about to provoke Luo Yuejin, he had already suppressed his anger and turned to go inside.
Song Lili: "..." Do you dare to wait a little longer?
Back home, upon seeing Zhang Qinghua, Song Lili couldn't help but complain, "That Luo Yuejin is like a fly, always coming to annoy you from time to time. It's really unbearable."
It's like having a fishbone stuck in your throat, a painful feeling that you can't spit out or swallow.
Even though it's unpleasant, you still have to endure it, which makes you feel irritable, yet you can still do anything.
After all, you can't exactly beat up the fishbone, can you? That would be making a mountain out of a molehill. Nor can you go looking for trouble with the person who cooked the fish; that would be creating unnecessary trouble.
So, I can only keep it to myself; anything else is just too uncomfortable.
"Just ignore him. The more you care, the more smug he will be, and the more he will think that this will disgust you."
"If you ignore it, he will restrain himself."
Zhang Qinghua was also helpless about this and could only comfort Song Lili in this way, while thinking to himself, should we find a solution?
In the end, I decided against it. Luo Yuejin hadn't gone too far, and if he had actually done it, it would have been worse.
Song Lili thought about it and realized that Zhang Qinghua was right. She should just ignore it and not make herself angry.
"Besides, when has he ever gotten away with anything? He's never gotten away with anything, so let him do whatever he wants."
Upon further reflection, Song Lili realized that this was indeed the case; every time Luo Yuejin caused trouble, Zhang Qinghua secretly retaliated.
Thinking about it this way, she felt less angry and even started to look forward to it.
Since Luo Yuejin always ended up losing, she actually looked forward to seeing his angry but speechless expression.
Thinking about it makes me happy.
After calming Song Lili down, Zhang Qinghua took out his high school textbooks and said, "Never mind him, let's get down to business."
"..."
Looking at her high school textbooks, Song Lili was speechless and choked with tears.
Can't she just not study? Doesn't everyone say that girls' education is useless? Why does she have to study?
Wouldn't it be better to be a woman without talent or virtue?
She looked at Zhang Qinghua with a look of utter despair, but seeing that he remained unmoved, she could only purse her lips and obediently look at him.
Zhang Qinghua was very indulgent towards her in some matters. She could do whatever she wanted, but in other matters, nothing he said could change her mind.
Just like this time when she got her high school diploma, once she made up her mind, she wouldn't change it, no matter how much she pleaded or acted cute.
Song Lili tried everything, but in the end she could only obediently listen to the instructions, read the textbook, and take the exam.
She glared at Zhang Qinghua angrily and said, "Don't you love me anymore?"
Zhang Qinghua looked amusedly at his wife, whose eyes were wide open, cheeks puffed out, and eyes bulging as well.
He gently pinched her pink, peach-like cheek. "Why don't I love you anymore?"
He's even cuter than a little steamed bun; he loves it.
"You let me read, but you won't let me rest." Song Lili accused, pointing with her fingers, her eyes filled with blatant reproach.
"You can do whatever you want with everything else, but not this. You have to listen to me."
Zhang Qinghua has never forgotten what she said unintentionally that day: "It won't be long before the educated youth return to the city."
How can educated youth return to the city?
Based on the experience of the past few years, they either return to the city for recruitment or return after graduating from university.
If all the educated youth return to the city, it will definitely be impossible to recruit workers.
There are only so many jobs in the city, and many city dwellers can't even get them, let alone people from the countryside.
Therefore, this road is blocked.
Therefore, going to university is the only option.
University admissions are now mostly by recommendation, and even then, it's limited to worker-peasant-soldier universities; it's impossible for everyone to get in.
The most likely possibility is...
Just thinking about those two words made Zhang Qinghua's heart pound with excitement, his eyes welled up with tears, and his mind resonated deeply.
Is the news he's been waiting for all these years finally coming?
Zhang Qinghua was uncertain. But he also felt that what Song Lili said was exactly what he was thinking.
He knew in his heart that his young wife had secrets, and sometimes she was like a prophet, able to know things that many others didn't.
Just like before, she seemed to have foreseen many things, saving Hongqi Village from some troubles. This allowed them to live peacefully for the past few years.
So, at this moment, he believed it. He believed what his wife said, but... he just couldn't believe it.
After so many years of silence, is it really possible this time?
But seeing how his wife often made him and Qingguo look at textbooks, he felt that was the case, otherwise why would she do that?
If that's really the case, then she absolutely must come along.
He absolutely would not allow the two of them to be separated; if it were true, they had to be together.
So there's no room for discussion. She has to take the exam and study, just like she said, what if?
Consider it as having prepared in advance.
If his wish really comes true, he will go with her, hand in hand, to that place they long for. He will never go alone.
This is the real reason why Zhang Qinghua's attempts to charm and coax Song Lili were ineffective, but he didn't tell Song Lili this.
Since his wife hadn't explicitly told him, he decided to pretend he didn't know.
He just needed to hold her hand and make sure she didn't fall behind, keeping her close to his pace; everything else was up to her.
